Agreed.

And i am not angry. Just voicing my opinion because is frustrating to see you change your mind because you see it fit your needs better.

While I can understand your feeling this way, something you have to understand is that this behavior is EXACTLY how commerce, and merchants work. Buy low, sell high, never offer your best price first. I'm certain Krantarin understands this, which is why I called him out on grand-standing in the previous thread.

It's also reasonable for him to say that he changed his mind when he experimented and found that the assumptions he had made on effort and value turned out to be untrue in practice.
